What Causes Frequent Canker Sores With Swollen Tongue And Rough Gums?

My mouth has generally been sore for several days. More specifically, the underside of my tongue is swollen and sensitive, my gums seem rough and are sensitive and not smooth, I had several swollen taste buds on the top of my tongue that did go away after a couple of days, and I have two sores in my mouth, one on the underside of my tongue and one on the piece that connects the bottom lip to the gums. I am 22 years old, female, I brush and floss regularly and do not frequently get canker sores. No recent food choices have struck me as being a contributing factor.
